Tom

Frustratingly I imagine this may have been a game for Palmer, feel he may throw Conway back in though now

I just want to see something to cling onto, a turn of pace, a bit of skill, a blistering shot. So far nothing; he seems about as fast as Jordan Rhodes, goes down as easily as Rhodes but not as cleverly but doesn’t seem to have a tenth of the awareness or finishing ability as Rhodes! Out wide clearly isn’t working for him but when he got a sight of goal today he totally fluffed it. I remember Grabbi smashing a free kick against the woodwork and it seemed to rattle for minutes, then he overpowered the Liverpool defence and powered a header home, you could latch onto those bits of hope but we don’t have anything yet. As Stuart points out in the last couple of games Nuttall looks leaps and bounds ahead, imagine our reaction if someone wanted him for £2-3m never mind £7!

In fairness they scored just a minute after that, Raya should have stopped it even being a decision though

A new defender is needed, a proper winger is needed and Travis must be retained, also Brereton to league one for the rest of the season

A loan has to happen now, there’s no use keeping him here he needs to get out of the spotlight and go and build his confidence

It’s a long game mate, we are building slow, he’s not a revolutionary but he’s the right man for me right now.

I have always defended VAR but how can it be that in this competition some games used it and some didn’t, if VAR is in use it’s 2-2 now

Raya you smeghead

Not sure Travis and Smallwood can last another 30!

Bell has become the best left winger in history again

Newcastle not looked up for this at all this half

Graham’s work rate is phenomenal he puts players 10 years younger to shame

Enough experimenting, Tony should be on the phone to a few league one clubs tomorrow to look into taking Brereton on loan

Never in doubt

Bell, Bennett and Brereton having stinkers, can we bring someone on not beginning with B please

Yes Armstrong get in there

This isn’t so splendid, another goal this half could lead to a rout

Smallwood is awful, so slow to control and turn

Cancel the cup and cancel Brexit

Always risky dropping the main man and Nuttall will feel disappointed to be out but that’s a team that should pose a threat going forward

11 o clocker Madon?

You’ve done it now your Twitter will never stop ’Any Rovers news Madon?’

Feeling positive about tonight, think we’ll win it! Travis to get a couple of early crunchers in and they won’t fancy it Tempted to get a ticket but will be half time at the earliest I could get there, may be extra time though...

Any suggestions for a nice meal in Edinburgh?

No Lyons with the under 23s tonight wonder if his loan move in impending
